FAQ
Will this fit my truck without additional adapters?It’s a universal 4" muffler with 30" overall length. Most 4" diesel systems accept it directly; some may need minor trimming or an adapter depending on where the muffler sits in the system.
How quiet is the Quiet Tone compared to stock?
It lowers drone and harshness versus many straight-through performance mufflers while keeping a deeper, performance-oriented note. Overall volume is typically above stock but comfortable for towing and daily use.
What’s the difference between T304 and T409 stainless?
T304 offers the highest corrosion resistance (great for road salt or coastal areas). T409 is durable and cost-effective but can show surface oxidation over time.
Is there a direct MBRP T304 alternative if M1004 is unavailable?
Yes — MBRP M1031 is a T304 stainless, 30" overall muffler that replaces most 4" 30" units.
Does direction matter when installing?
Yes. Follow the indicated flow arrow or orient the internal chambers correctly for best sound control and performance.
